It might be worth just mentioning the incident to the marina owners, not in a complaining way, just ask them to be a bit more considerate in future.

People like me? Lots of assumptions there - don't think I stated which side of the fence I'm on. I was agreeing to Jerra's point about 'Tell Brexiteers to get over it'. By all means if you don't agree with something, do something about it, no point keep moaning about a decision that has been made - make the best of it in the meantime, and work to change it if that's what you want. As a general point, many people and organisations are quick to blame Brexit for what they can't do, rather than work on a positive outcome for what they can do.

Agreed, but what's the point of going on about it. It's done, and won't get undone for a long time, so start dealing with what we have, rather than what we used to have.

Get over it, like it or not it's a done deal.

Any old surveys available? (worth asking the current owner - if he wants to sell he'd probably make them available). If there was no change in the pitting over, say, the last 5 years, I wouldn't worry. If all the pitting had occurred over the past two years, I'd be concerned.

Sorry, just had a look and can't find it - if I do, I'll let you know but don't hold your breath!

or the other favorite 'there is no I in team' to which I always reply 'no mate, but there is a me'
